    I like my 5. I got it when i turned 16 and have learned to wrench/fab on it. I hope to never be in a position where i HAVE to get rid of it. I needed better gearing and the cheapest/ most effective way for me to get it was to run a doubler which meant I HAD to stretch the rear. As far as stretching the front is concerned the main point is to get rid of leafs and get the jeep lower.

    because its easier to kludge an axle under an IFS truck and keep telling yourself that the 22re is a good engine

    why build something thats already perfect?

    Is the rear at stock location or did you move it back some?

    Looks good!

    Yeah, I found a few good deals on some tf999s but in the end went with the doubler. I think it was a better choice..

    Well, I got around to doing some work the past couple weekends.

    Started out with some high tech planning for the skid plate subframe.


    Then got started on some new motor mounts.






    Added some bracing.

    Then I moved onto the subframe.


    I got all of the frame done. Now all I need is to finish up the tranny mount and add tabs for the skid plate to attach.



    Thats all i have so far. It will be a couple of weeks before i get to work on it some more.
